IMPROVEMENT IN HARROWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 165,736. dated July 20, 1875 application filed June l2, 1875.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SAMUEL G. JONES, of Moweaqua, Shelby county, Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Adjustable Harrow, of which the following is a specification:

rI`he invention will rst be fully described,

and then pointed out in the claim.

Figure l is a plan View, and Fig. 2 is a front elevation, of my improved barrow.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A represents the side pieces of the forward frame, and B the side pieces of the hinder one. They are hinged to the center piece C, the former near the front end, and the latter near the hind end. The'two side pieces of each side of these frames are connected by the bars D, which are jointed or pivoted, so that the side pieces may swing open or close, and they are contrived to connect the side pieces closer Or wider apart, as may be' required for dii''erent work. F represents the spreaders, being a couple of short pieces for carrying harrowteeth, and hinged to the pieces B ofthe hinder frame, and connected by the adjustable crossbars Gr, which are contrived t0 hold them more or less distant from each other, according to the desired width of the niain frames. rI`he hind cross-bar G has a handle, H, by which to guide it when ruiming outside of the row for which the harrow is adapted by taking the teeth out of the piece C, to cultivate corn and other vegetables planted in rows. The

spreader may be used with either one-or both of the Ashaped frames, and it may be Vdetached when the harrow is to be loaded or packed away to stow itin smaller space than it would Otherwise take. The trames A B may be hinged together, instead Ot the center piece O, if preferred.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination, in aharrow, of wings A B, spaced by bars D, with rearwardly-converging bars F E, spaced by bars G, as and for the purpose specified.
